I know, I know, the dead horse is dead.One of the great under-reported stories of Trump’s ignorance (insanity?) is that for years he has made repeated comments about stealth fighters which suggest he believes they are literally invisible in the sky. His weirdness cannot be overstated. https://t.co/ElNsFOvitI

But Jake Tapper is still shilling his shit book, so I’m gonna ride George Clooney into the ground and maybe dig a trench, too. Because Trump is just phenomenally stupid, but nobody except cranks on the intertoobs (👋) can point it out.
(Trump thinks jets move the way old WWII planes fly in the movies. During the Covid shutdown the Blue Angels (?) flew over several Houston hospitals in tribute to the workers there. By chance their flight path crossed near enough to the house that the Lovely Wife and I caught a glimpse of them going by from the backyard. Their speed was incredible, and truly by the time we saw them (we happened to be looking in the right place), they were gone. You don’t track such planes by sight (aside from the fact they never fly that low in combat); you have to do it by radar (obvious, I know; but when you see them like that, unexpectedly, and gone almost before you recognize they were there, the obvious becomes grounded in experience). What can barely be seen by the eye can long appear on radar. Which, of course, is what “stealth” design is all about.
Now think about how you have to go through that much reflection yourself to properly understand just how stupid the POTUS is right now. And we only have one at a time. God help us.)
